Five more Pirates draft choices signed today, but they still haven’t locked up their #1 and #2 picks. It looks like those two picks will go down to the wire.

With the trading deadline days away we hope that the Pirates can hold on to Bubba Chandler as well as Johnson at Greensboro. Another prospect I would hate to move is Charles McAdoo. He is holding his own since his promotion to Altoona. He appears to be one of the Pirates better hitters in the minors...

Just saw Austin Hays from the Orioles to the Phillies. While he's not having a normally productive season compared to other years, he would have been a decent addition to the Bucs. The price tag of Seranthony Dominguez and Cristan Pache was not steep, as I have watched Dominguez struggle the last f...

I wonder if Mlodzinski will be trade bait to acquire a good bat. He's become almost automatic. Since beginning the season injured and being scored upon in 5 of his first 7 games, he's been sored upon in only 3 of his other 17 games. His ERA over that span is 1.21 with a BA against of .188. He was a...

According to Jonathan Mayo there are some issues that are holding up the signing of Konnor Griffin. He believes a deal will get done but it could come down to the final day. I kind of wondered about that because there have been times when the Pirates have signed the #1 Draft choice when the team is ...

It seems the Pirates are a little slower with signing their top 3 draft choices this year. Possibly they are attempting to get Konnor Griffin to sign below slot in order to spread some of that saved money on other draft choices. It just appears that there may be a slight holdup with the signing of G...

I am a little surprised that the Pirates have not signed any draft choices so far. I am hoping we soon will hear some news regarding players signing.

It appears that teams that are Sellers are just holding out until the best offer comes along. In my opinion if the Pirates wanted to acquire a position player with some team control that an offer of let’s say Ashcraft, Bae, and a lower minor league player could get a deal done. Possibly too, the Pir...

It is good to hear that various outlets are stating that the Pirates did well with this years draft. I would expect soon we will hear about some signings.

The more I see and read about Paul Skenes the Pirates better tender him a contract this offseason in an amount greater than a player with one years of team control. He is a special player and due to that reason they can break precedent and pay him more than the MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement pr...
